Reflection in Bulguksa


In the zen land of non-duality, there is no inside and no outside. The "inside" reflects the "outside" and the "outside" reflects the "inside". Nowhere does this truth come to life more beautifully than in a zen temple. Korean temples are so built that they participate to stir one's meditation, as the harmony coming out of the architecture's symmetry and clear lines sinks into the visitor's mind and leaves an imprint of peace. "Outside" becomes "inside".
